Things I Am Thankful For, Numbers 1 Through 8

Things I am thankful for:

1. Roommates that turn out to be more wonderful than you can imagine, right down to the fencing bit.

2. Guides, whether advertised or otherwise, who merely show you the path rather than attempt to walk it for you; and those guides who try to do it for you anyways, for their spirit and (misguided) generosity.

3. Good food at the end of a long journey. Somehow it always turns into great food.

4. Those who, when left behind, somehow still believe that you are doing something right.

5. Dear friends who remain when all else is changed.

6. Buckets. The kind that hold clothes, then become a part of your furniture, because yours isn't there yet.

7. Late nights that turn into early mornings that turn into late nights. Some lives are meant to be lived with days bursting with activity and joy.

8. Friends that still hang within the potentiality of time. Some people may simply be doorways; others are glorious rooms.

    You sound so happy! This makes me happy for you.
    You'll have to tell me all about this fencing roommate, the guides, the buckets...and I agree about the food bit. I agree entirely.
